The 36th Perceptual Frontier Seminar: Practice Sessions for Fechner Day 2017

Date and time: Monday, 16 October 2017, 14:50-18:10
Venue: Room 411, on the 1st floor of the Building 4, Ohashi Campus, Kyushu University
Organizer: Gerard B. REMIJN (Kyushu University/ReCAPS)

Program

Talk Session

1. Effect of sound on memory and impressiveness of visual imagery
Natalia POSTNOVA and Shin-ichiro IWAMIYA

2. Phonology and psychophysics: Is sonority real?
Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, Gerard B. REMIJN, Yuko YAMASHITA, and Takuya KISHIDA

3. Phenomenological approach to vection
Takeharu SENO, Kayoko MURATA, and Hidemi KOMATSU

4. Color conspicuity in dichromats
Shoji SUNAGA, Haruka OIDE, and Shigehito KATSURA

Poster Session

1. The perception of auditory icons by Japanese drivers
João Paulo CABRAL, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, and Gerard B. REMIJN

2. Perceptual restoration of interrupted locally time-reversed speech
Kazuo UEDA*, Nozomi INUI**, Kaisei SHIRAKI**, Valter CIOCCA***, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA*, and Gerard B. REMIJN*
*Department of Human Science/Research Center for Applied Perceptual Science, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 815-8540, Japan, **Department of Acoustic Design, Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, Fukuoka 815-8540, Japan, ***School of Audiology and Speech Sciences, the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, V6K 1X3 Canada

The effects of periodical interruption with silence or noise on intelligibility of speech and locally time-reversed speech in Japanese sentences were investigated. A pilot experiment was conducted with two Japanese normal-hearing participants, using stimuli that were interrupted with 20-120 or 20-220 ms segments. The results showed a possibility that noise insertion improved intelligibility in both interrupted speech and interrupted locally-time reversed speech, although the intelligibility of the interrupted locally-time reversed speech was generally poorer than that of the interrupted speech.

3. Influence of the temporal-unit duration on the intelligibility of mosaic speech: A comparison between Japanese and English
Kaori KOJIMA, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, Gerard B. REMIJJN, Mark A. ELLIOTT, and Sophia ARNDT

4. Momentary averted gaze induce the shift of visual attention
Masaki OGAWA, Hiroyuki ITO, and Shoji SUNAGA

5. Factors affecting the peripheral flicker illusion
Hiroyuki ITO and Tomomi KOIZUMI

6. A case study on synesthesia: Is there a connection between Japanese hiragana-katakana articulation categories and color grouping?
Miki HOKAJO, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, Chihiro HIRAMATSU, Moe NISHIKAWA, and Gerard B. REMIJN

7. Multi-stable motion perception in the Polka Dance stimulus
Hiroaki YANO, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, Tatsuya YOSHIZAWA, and Gerard B. REMIJN

8. Pre-presentation of random motion reduces the latency of vection
Jing NI, Hiroyuki ITO, Masaki OGAWA, and Shoji SUNAGA

9. The relationship between the filled duration illusion and the time dilation illusion
Erika TOMIMATSU, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Mark A. ELLIOTT, Hiroyuki ITO, and Takuya KISHIDA

10. Irrelevant sound effects with locally time-reversed speech: Real performance difference between German and Japanese native speakers?
Kazuo UEDA, Akie SHIBATA, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Katharina ROST, Florian KATTNER, and Wolfgang ELLERMEIER

11. Temporal resolution needed for auditory communication: Measurement with mosaic speech
Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Mizuki MATSUDA, Kazuo UEDA, and Gerard B. REMIJN

12. Color-temperature association in dichromatic and trichromatic individuals
Yuki MORI and Chihiro HIRAMATSU

13. Measurement of vection strength induced by vection scenes in the Japanese animations
Kousuke TOKUNAGA, Yoshitaka FUJII, Masaki OGAWA, Satoshi IKEHATA, Tomohiro MASUDA, and Takeharu SENO

Practice of one poster presentation, "Influence of the temporal-unit duration on the intelligibility of mosaic speech: A comparison between Japanese and English," Kaori KOJIMA, Yoshitaka NAKAJIMA, Kazuo UEDA, Gerard B. REMIJJN, Mark A. ELLIOTT, and Sophia ARNDT, will take place on 17 October 2017 from 10:30 in 322.

Invitation to Fechner Day 2017

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to organize the Fechner Day 2017, and we are making our best effort to keep all valuable things of the past Fechner Days—a friendly atmosphere, advanced ideas, and academic tradition. In order to attain this, we are trying to invite colleagues from many different places of the world and from many different research areas, without increasing financial loads of the participants. The conference site is equipped with (unmanned) facilities to take care of babies.

A new attempt will be made to make poster sessions very exciting. They will be called poster symposia following the usage of the word “symposium” of the great Athenian people! This will determine the whole tone of the Fechner Day 2017.

Fukuoka is an easy place to visit—it is connected closely to all major airports of Japan, and has direct flights to Seoul, Dalian, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, and Honolulu. If you take a taxi from the airport to the conference site, you need about half an hour and 3000 yen (about US$26; you do not need a tip). Fukuoka was the very first place in Japan that received people from the continent in the first century, and still its local people are lively and kind. Its seafood is often considered the best in Japan.

Hoping to meet you in Fukuoka,

Yoshitaka Nakajima, PhD
Chair, Fechner Day 2017
Director, Research Center for Applied Perceptual Science
